HI guys
I'm going to update Hash rate info for web page
So if your miner dont show hash rate or if it shows jibrish data
Please send me a pm with your miner details like this :

Thanks.

Ah, Ok, thanks.
Hashrate is bad in Windows for me so sticking with nvOC.

then you are doing something wrong

I had dual 980ti´s when I first tried mining in Windows, can´t remember exactly but I believe they were at like 4-6 MH/s each, with Minergate.
When I set up nvOC they managed 40+ MH/s combined, depending on clocks/temps.
I believe the Maxwell cards aren´t that good at mining? At least in Windows, nvOC has worked great for me.
Or maybe because my Nvidia drivers were up-to-date for gaming they weren´t good for mining?
Minergate not good perhaps?
You tell me.
Recently bought a 1080, would that do better in Windows?

[gcvanasel]

Just want to ask is CUDA 9 built into the latest version? And if not what would the impact be?

If anyone has any coins in bittrex try to transfer them ASAP

no problem with Ethermine here, non stop for weeks.

again, you are doing something wrong, I have no difference what ever I mine. It could be the miner. If you are happy with nvOC then stick with it, its a really good way to mine for Nvidia owners.

I also have a few GTX-1080 but no GTX-9xx . There is a thread on how to tweak the GTX-9xx on Windows and people are getting insane results. Ill post a link if I can find it.

Its your choice mate
They are banning people all around the globe, Enhanced accounts, Basic accounts, ... and not answering any tickets, and they are banning people from their slack support channel just for asking why
They even did not answered cointelegraph on the issue yet.
It seems like a huge problem.

I dont have much experience on other exchanges
There are many : Binance, Kraken, Bitstamp, Coinbase, GDAX, Coss, Cryptopia, Yobit, ....

Hmm well I won’t argue with that, I was a total mining-noob back then (probably still am).
Thanks for the tips! I will look into this..
If you find that link it would be sweet

Ethminer has enormously trouble connecting to mining pool hub servers and this generates a large number of reboots of 3main and plusCPU. The parameters of OC and MC do not seem to be involved and this mining software seems very unstable!

Can anyone tell me how to replace ethminer (all versions) by claymore (ethdcrminer) in Salfter's scripts for MPH Switch? please !
I tried it myself but it does not work.
 I know that the claymore dev collects 1% tax on each algorithm in use, but it is more stable and efficient.

I have seen the salfter script go from a majority mining time on Zcash or equihash to EThash (several different corners) since then. 2-3 or may be 4 days.

I saw an enormous spike on XMR this weekend as well. No doubt people looking for a coin of the top 10 has to mine, then it is back down in power but no difficulty on XMR which rises, which rises ...

Hello everyone!

2fullzero: Does NVOC support 19GPU on ASUS B250 Mining Expert?

And whats the limit of GPU on NVOC for now?

Thank you!

I built djm34's ccminer with Cuda9 and found that it was faster than tp ccminer on ZCOIN. If you can confirm that, use djm34's as default zcoin miner.

Would you be willing to share how you compiled?  I got a bunch of "BIGNUM" errors when I tried to use -make.
How do we upgrade to CUDA9?  The instructions on their website didn't work for me:
Installation Instructions:
`sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_9.0.176-1_amd64.deb`
`sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub`
`sudo apt-get update`
`sudo apt-get install cuda`

Thanks for your help.

download openssl v1.0.2f from the offical website (look archive)
then copy the file bn.h (from crypto directory) to /usr/local/include/openssl
then try your last command (make or build) again.

yes, fix bignum issue this way.
for upgradibg to cuda9, I followed the guide in nvidia official website, it worked well, but took very long times.

you also need to modify Makefile.am by hand, replace _20 and _21 with _30.

Thanks that fixed the bignum error. 

I'm still getting errors though:
nvcc fatal   : Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_60'

Is that because of not having Cuda9?

edit Makefile.am, replace _60 with  _61

You are talking about this part right?:

nvcc_ARCH  = -gencode=arch=compute_50,code=\"sm_50,compute_50\"

nvcc_ARCH += -gencode=arch=compute_52,code=\"sm_52,compute_52\"
nvcc_ARCH += -gencode=arch=compute_61,code=\"sm_61,compute_61\"
#nvcc_ARCH += -gencode=arch=compute_35,code=\"sm_35,compute_35\"
#nvcc_ARCH += -gencode=arch=compute_30,code=\"sm_30,compute_30\"
#nvcc_ARCH += -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_21,compute_20\"

after changing the make.am file to look like this, the error changed from saying:
nvcc fatal   : Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_60'

to now saying:
nvcc fatal   : Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_61'

any ideas?
thanks for your help

Yup, works for me!

I just wanted to say, I'm using USB sticks a lot and it seems I can solve 90% of crash and stability / etc problems by just loading up a fresh image of nvOC and copying back over my 1bash.

All miner commands are in 3main

I am happy for you papami, but as far as my small miner is concerned, it was clear that he did not stop to re-issue ethminer whatever its version. I have all tried it in the mph_Switch and each time it was difficult to connect or to receive the answers of the pool for validation or rejection of the "share". So, my GPU dropped to 0% activity and the Wdog killed all the miners softwares (!), Including the "plusCPU" (kill -e miner is too generalist, it would be better targetting ONLY the main minor (so not cpuOT (or xmr-stack-cpu) with this command)

I add that with claymore, the MPH_SWITCH will mining libry (LBC) whenever it mines daggerhashimoto. On MPH_Switch and pools, there are several coins that use this algorithm, and as a result, I will dual minning every time this algo (daggerhashimoto) is requested. Expanse, ETC, Musicoin.

Although I lose claymore dev fees, but I think I lose less in fees than with these untimely reboots of ethminer and for some more LBC

Here is the section that I replaced in the file mph_conf.json and in the file 3main below << EOF> /home/m1/mph_conf.json

Code:

"Ethash":
    {
      bin ": / home / m1 / eth / 9_8 / ethdcrminer64 -epool stratum + tcp: // {HOST}: {PORT} -ewal {NAME}. {MINER} -eworker {NAME}. {MINER} -esm 2 -epsw x -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -dpool stratum + tcp: //lbry.suprnova.cc: 6256 -dwal {NAME}. {MINER} -dpsw x -dcoin lbc -dcri 25 "
      "power_limit": 114, "gpu_oc": 150, "mem_oc": 1250, "fan": 40,
      "speed": 0.087, "power": 0.397
    }

I will try like this some time (until Friday), and, probably that week-end, I would try again your WTM_SWITCH

I will probably ask you for help debugging by private message or here on the public thread.

NB : Your alerts on Bittrex worry me even if I do not store much value on it !
Do you have a rankings about trusting this list of platforms that you quote above?

In fact, I understand that you have to choose between storing on pools or storing on tradding platforms! Complicated and risky in both cases :-(
I try to privilege Kraken to the maximum for me. But Kraken does not work with as many tokens as the others like cryptopia, bittrex or poloniex.
